Q+A with the 'Fourteenth Banker' in The Huffington Post

An anonymous executive at one of America's 10 largest banks, one that took TARP funds, has spoken out on why he feels the U.S. banking system is in need of reform.

The executive in question has done a Q+A with The Huffington Post, building on the anonymous blog, The Fourteenth Banker, that he started earlier this month. The Huffington Post says the blog is intended as forum for bank insiders who feel muzzled by industry gag orders.

On the Q+A, The Huffington Post says despite the obvious risks to his banking career, the executive, who's
been in the industry for more than 20 years, says he can't bear to keep
quiet any longer: "I decided that I cannot live with the extent of the
compromises to my value system."
